Saying No and refusing to use unethical tools and platforms can be a powerful way to protest.

Do not minimize the power you have in refusing to participate.

Quiet public

@Em0nM4stodonEm was volunteering for something recently and I get a “do you give permission to add your number to a WhatsApp group”, so there it’s an easy reply of “hell no”. If they need me on a messaging app (which is doubtful when they can just email me), they can find something better. At the very least it makes the person who made the (Google) form be aware there is better too.
